Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0214922A1] An apparatus (1) for recoating uncoated and spliced end portions of optical fibers (17) comprises two mold blocks (21a, 22b), each of which includes a groove (22a, 22b), the mold blocks being arrangable in a closed state, wherein the grooves cooperate to form a mold cavity for the fiber end portions, and in an open state, wherein the fiber end portions are insertable into the grooves. The apparatus further includes an injection system (5) for injecting a recoating material into the mold cavity, and a UV curing system (6) for irradiating the recoating material with UV light, thus curing the recoating material. At least one mold block is made of a plastic material comprising a fluoroplastic, e.g. PCTFE, the plastic material being at least partly transparent to UV light to enable the curing system to irradiate the UV curable recoating material with UV light through this mold block.
